Thanks for the comments. Leslie - the BA was on us, the Masters, if she chooses, will be on her.Pablo - Congratulations to your son. Loafing sounds like an acceptable plan - like you said, if he gets into medical school - AND does a little manual labor at Roundrock.Ashley - A little apprehension is good. My daughter loved ISU - just the right size, none of those monstrous lecture classes. Of course, she entered as a junior and did not have to live in a dorm.Sharon- Thanks! Lots of central Illinois kids choose ISU. U of I is getting monstrously huge and very difficult to be accepted and expensive. SRP - The person in the red cap and gown is one of the marshals. They lead the grads in and out of the stadium and release the rows of grads to approach the stage. The President of the University had a fantastic set of red and white robes. The pomp and circumstance and sense of tradition is awesome.
